Maybe Unions in Canada and Europe don't suck...
Canadians largely consume the same media as the US --so it looks like it's not coming from there.
Grass roots is the actual vox populi and people just don't have a good experience when they interact with Union folk, so they talk bad about them. If people talk smack about WalMart, do you go ahead and then claim, "oh, well, that's a PORTRAYAL, it may be distributed but it's still a negative portrayal perpetuated by the grass roots and the media"?
People have a right to opinions based on experience --too bad if those opinions go against a particular vested interest.
- ABCLAW 5y agoI don't want to assume, but I'm curious if you read the documents I linked. Your reply doesn't seem to address contradictory data I've provided. To address your second point; If Walmart was consistently discussed negatively in conversation, on social media, in the news, etc. I'd say that they were portrayed negatively, yes. That said, my second link is explicitly about media portrayals, indicating that corporate media intentionally over-represents negative elements of unions, so even excluding the semantics regarding whether or not 'word of mouth' portrayals count as portrayals, the point stands.
